How the generosity of others shapes our school

J. Marvin Reynolds Prosthodontic Scholarship Fund

Dr. J. Marvin Reynolds graduated from the MCV School of Dentistry in 1951. Throughout his dental career, Reynolds gave more than 300 presentations to dental groups and associations, and received numerous honors. He established this fund in 2007 because "dentistry was good to this farm boy from Southwest Va.," and he wanted to do something in return.

The fund will support a scholarship for a rising senior dental student who has shown outstanding promise in all areas of fixed and removable prosthodontics. The Department of Prosthodontics will select the recipient based on the student's credentials, as well as performance in didactic, laboratory and clinical areas.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:I was born and raised in Fairfax, Virginia, along with my younger sister. After graduating from UVa, I adopted two rescue kittens. My main hobbies include road biking (which I have taken up and really started to enjoy just recently), yoga, reading, and selling jewelry as a side endeavor.

Why are you passionate about dentistry?During college, I was a member of the cheerleading team. During this time, I realized how important your smile is to your confidence and success. I'm passionate about dentistry because I want to help people find this same realization, and help them to value their oral health as much as I do.
